ex-smokers support group thread

[MTK]

For the ex-smokers here, how did you manage to quit? Do you still have cravings?

I find it to be amazing that 9 years after quitting I still battle cravings, though they do seem to becoming further and further apart. But still, sometimes I'll smell a cigarette and it smells like the best thing on earth, most of the time though it smells like crap. Really makes you wonder what they put in these things to hook people that bad.

I quit in '97 but for a long time I was a social smoker like when I was out having a beer, but about two years ago I decided to totally quit for good and I haven't had one since.

The worst habit you can ever pick up, for those that don't smoke, don't start. There's nothing good that can come from it.
